As long as in the heart within,
The Jewish soul yearns,

The hope that is two-thousand years old,
To be a free nation in our land,
The Land of Zion, Jerusalem.

Strengthen the defenders of our Holy Land; grant them, our God, salvation and crown them with victory. Establish peace in the land, and everlasting joy for its inhabitants. And let us say Amen.
